What Crap is this

The Khatris are Aryans like most Indians. However,they are a merchant caste and not Kshatriyas like the Rajputs, Jats, Nairs, Coorgis, etc. They are respected in India.

who changed the earlier article and added this crap "they are not usually military in their character, though considerable numbers enlisted during the great War, they have not however the same military qualities as the Jat Sikh to whom they are greatly socially inferior." please remove this nonsense and roll back the original article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrwordsworth (talk • contribs) 02:15, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Intothefire (talk) 05:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC) The Khatri, a merchant is not a Kshtriya the warrior. No one can create a confusion on this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.88.88.153 (talk) 17:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

What about the Puri clan?

Okay so I'm asking this because my last name is Puri, as well because my family has a long military tradition, in terms of old swords and armour and stuff. And because we are chandravanshi On the article http://en.wikipedia.org/Puri_(Family_Name) it is mentioned that the puri descend from the puru tribe. This is also mentioned in the books that are referenced in the article. So does that mean that we are not khatri? I just need clarification on this. Because i thought that kshatriya and khatri were the same thing.

Could someone clarify this for me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rijul.puri (talk • contribs) 09:01, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Need for reorganization

1. Divisions like Dhai-Ghar etc are of minor significance. They should be mentioned later in the article. Their history needs some careful research.
2. The discussion of history should be re-organized into a well-written section.
3. Shared heritage should be in the section on history.

Puri are indeed a clan of Khatris.

Khatris are the Kshatriyas of the Punjab region. Whole of India was once ruled by Kshatriyas. For clarity, the two terms should be used such that Khatri is a specific term and Kshatriya is a general term.--Vikramsingh (talk) 00:19, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

"A legend based on Hindu oral traditions"

Article states:

A legend based on Hindu oral traditions states that Lahore was named after Lava, son of Lord Rama, who supposedly founded the city. To this day, the Lahore fort has a deserted temple dedicated to Luv (also pronounced as Loh, hence "Loh-awar" or fort of Loh). Another legend says the town of Kasur (now in Pakistan) was named after Kusha, the younger son of Lord Rama.

Actually it is mentioned in Bichitra Natak of Guru Gobind Singh.--Vikramsingh (talk) 00:24, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

From the GAZETTEER LUDHIANA

I think this large quote is mostly redundant. I suggest we remove it after merging parts of the text to other parts, if needed (with citation).--Vikramsingh (talk) 01:30, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Some cleaning is needed.--ISKapoor (talk) 03:35, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

This article is complete and utter tosh. I'm sorry but, sentences like "Latest to enter bollywood from Kapoor clan is the hearthrob of the nation Ranbir Kapoor,Rishi's son. Khanna's have also made bollywood proud.Rajesh Khanna was the 1st ever superstar of bollywood." have no place here. I'm going to see if I can find a clean version.
